St. Paul urges Philemon to take Onesimus to receive him back as a friend & not a slave. Hence, slavery is wrong, according to the overall message of the Holy Bible.. Very poor reasoning. In the John Gospel, Jesus lets an adulteress walk free, saying "I don't condemn you". Does this mean that adultery is ok according to the Bible? God Says so in Genesis chapter 9, verse 7. As Karl Aksel already pointed out: No, He didn't. God just says to procreate, not that sexual intercourse should be used only for procreation. It is only questionable for ethics for those who have very poor ethics. Actually, it is questionable for ethics for those who can read and think. I fail to see how the story about the woman that was caught in adultery has anything to do with Philemon & Onesimus. Moreover, you left out a Statement from Our Lord: "SIN NO MORE." So obviously, adultery is not okay. Rather, the story of the woman caught in adultery, clearly showed the hypocrisy of all her accusers. Eg: Where was the man whom she was caught committing adultery with? God Says to procreate, hence that is what sexual intercourse is for. Those who can read & think, know that ethics are very high in the Holy Bible. |
